Altadena has a rule of its own. Los Angeles County's published rule: There is no trash collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The County's page does not say when a missed pickup is made up.

The dates below are the federal holidays left this year, with what Los Angeles County's published schedule means for each of those weeks.

Los Angeles County Public Works publishes its collection routes as a map (Los Angeles County waste service collection areas): each route area carries a fixed weekday for trash; the lookup reads that area for your address.

Universal Waste Systems collects under the County's franchise: trash, recycling and organics carts every week on the area's day. The County's map answers any point inside an area, so the day is for residential curbside service; after the January 2025 Eaton Fire some lots have no service.

We last checked Altadena on October 13, 2026: 8 of 8 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Altadena's pickup days.
